Chapter 197: The Five Elements Transformation Talent

TL: Etude

Nine Holy Dragon Fruits were at stake, coveted by twelve ferocious beast overlords, leaving none for other Emperor-level ferocious beasts. Should any other Emperor-level beast dare to contest, they would face the wrath of these twelve overlords.

How many beasts could withstand the onslaught of the twelve ferocious beast overlords? Despite the impressive size of these Emperor-level ferocious beasts, most were mere spectators, unlikely to engage in the fray.

Ye Tian's true target was not the Holy Dragon Fruit but the Mystic-level Metal Elemental Talent.

Soon, Ye Tian found an Emperor-level ferocious beast named Iron Bull.

Species: Iron Ox Armor Beast

Bloodline Talent: Moonlight

Strength Talent: Mystic

Defense Talent: Mystic

Speed Talent: Top-level

Iron Armor Talent: Mystic

"Iron Armor Talent!" Ye Tian instantly took a liking to this talent. Though not an offensive-type Metal Talent, it was even rarer, being a defensive-type Metal Talent.

If he could absorb this Iron Armor Talent, his defensive capabilities would significantly increase.

"Copy the Mystic-level Iron Armor Talent!" Ye Tian thought, and it was copied onto his hand.

Next, Ye Tian copied the Insight Eye Talent from a Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, a formidable talent capable of seeing through invisibility. Naturally, he had to copy it.

With two talents copied, Ye Tian decided not to linger and sought a place to integrate these talents.

It would take about eighteen or nineteen days for the Holy Dragon Fruit to ripen; staying here was a waste of time.

So, Ye Tian stealthily left.

The other Emperor-level ferocious beasts assumed Ye Tian had been thwarted by the revelation of his invisibility talent and gave up on the Holy Dragon Fruit, leaving the area.

The twelve beast overlords paid no mind to Ye Tian's departure. To them, Ye Tian was no threat; their true adversaries were the twelve overlords among the other Emperor-level beasts.

However, the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast had set its sights on Ye Tian.

"Damn Ming Illusion Beast, if it weren't for the intervention of the Xuan Turtle Overlord, you would have been dead. You dared to injure me, an Emperor; I will devour you!"

The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast harbored a murderous intent.

Other Emperor-level ferocious beasts feared Ye Tian's invisibility talent, but with its Insight Eye Talent, the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was undeterred.

Whizz!

Ye Tian and the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast quickly flew away from the Holy Dragon Tree, heading into the distance.

Ye Tian noticed the pursuit of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast but remained indifferent, even smirking secretly.

If he could kill the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, no other beast would detect his invisibility talent.

Near the bustling Holy Dragon Tree, he couldn't unleash his true strength, but the beast foolishly followed him, courting death.

The man and beast flew further away, soon leaving the Holy Dragon Tree area, beyond the sensing range of the twelve overlords.

Thus, Ye Tian stopped in a forest.

The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast also halted, closing in on Ye Tian.

"Ming Illusion Beast, you missed your chance to escape at full speed. What a pity, today you will surely die!"

The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast launched its Crystal Talent, intending to freeze the entire forest into a crystal forest and Ye Tian into a crystal statue.

But in the next moment, it became perplexed.

Before it, the Ming Illusion Beast transformed into a human, wielding a Morning Star-level sword.

"Ming Illusion Beast, why turn into a human?"

The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was immensely surprised.

When Ye Tian's morning star-level sword slashed down, the beast's expression changed drastically.

It was a sword technique!

Among ferocious beasts, only the mantis clan, naturally possessing sword-like legs, knew sword techniques. How could the Ming Illusion Beast, a ferocious beast, have any connection with sword techniques?

Unless…

"Human!" The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast realized a possibility.

The human before it was not a transformation of the Ming Illusion Beast, but rather a human disguised with a talent for mimicry. It and the other Emperor-level ferocious beasts had been deceived!

"Escape!" This thought crossed the mind of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast.

However, Ye Tian's space constriction descended, freezing the surrounding void. After ascending to the Emperor level, Ye Tian's top-level space talent had grown immensely stronger, and his ability to constrain space had increased manyfold. The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, barely an Emperor-level entity, was no match for the top-level space talent and found its speed drastically reduced.

"Top-level space talent, you… how could you possess such a terrifying talent!!!" The Dragon Eye Crystal Beast was utterly shocked and terrified.

"Don't kill me, please, I beg you!" It pleaded.

Ye Tian ignored its pleas and launched his Soul Spike talent.

Pfft! The Soul Spike pierced into the soul of the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, obliterating most of its spirit. The severely soul-damaged beast wailed in agony, its aura greatly diminished.

Ye Tian could have easily killed the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, but he chose not to, as he planned to take over its body. He possessed a high-level soul transfer talent, allowing his spirit to move into the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast's body. To ensure a 100% safe transfer, given the powerful soul of the beast, he used his Soul Spike talent to severely weaken its spirit.

Holding the gravely injured Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, Ye Tian arrived at a safe mountain range and carved out a small cave underground. He tossed the dying beast aside and began to integrate the recently copied Insight Eye and Iron Armor talents.

Before long, Ye Tian had fully integrated both talents.

"Iron Armor Talent, activate!" Suddenly, a set of iron armor appeared on Ye Tian, amplifying his defense by 100 times. Combined with his own Mystic-level defense talent, this amounted to a 200-fold defense increase.

"The Iron Armor Talent is indeed impressive, but it still needs to be integrated into my Five Elements Talent," Ye Tian decided.

He was unsure what the merged Five Elements Talent would look like, but he was not going to miss this opportunity.

"Merge!" Ye Tian activated the merging function of his copied talents.

Thus, the Mystic-level Fire Domain Talent, Mystic-level Water Shield Talent, Mystic-level Vine Talent, Mystic-level Earth Spike Talent, and Mystic-level Iron Armor Talent began to merge.

During the process, he also kept an eye on the Dragon Eye Crystal Beast, fearing it might escape. However, the beast, having lost most of its soul, was in a state of collapse and no longer a threat to Ye Tian.

An hour later.

Ye Tian had completely merged the five Mystic-level talents, but he was drenched in sweat, nearly exhausted.

"Check!" Ye Tian reviewed his talent status. The original five Mystic-level talents had vanished, replaced by a new one—

[Five Elements Transformation Talent: God-Level]

As soon as his consciousness touched the talent imprint of the God-level Five Elements Transformation Talent, Ye Tian understood its powerful effects.

This God-level talent could freely manifest the effects of the previous five talents, like transforming into a Five Elements Fire Domain or a Five Elements Iron Armor, with not a 100-fold but a whopping 500-fold amplification.

"Truly a God-level talent!" Ye Tian was overjoyed.

His strength had greatly increased!
